Title: Transaction hasn't confirmed in 22 hours!
Post by: cryptodromeda on December 13, 2015, 12:24:45 AM
Can anyone help? 22 hours is a long time without confirmation.

The fee is pretty low for that transaction and with the network already being quite congested it may take further time...

In the future it is probably better to not go with a low fee if you want a faster transaction.

Okay thanks. I was transferring out of an online market and I'm pretty sure it didn't give me the option to set the fee manually.

This "fee" shit is only getting worse, especially during extraordinarily high volume times which out the blue to started thursday nite.  What happens when there are no more BTC to be mined? Also I don't understand why the block size can't be increased tramatically to fix this nonsense. The value in mining is not the fees, it's the 25 BTC.

This is nothin but slowing down adoption in a big way, especially when other crypto currencies DO NOT have this problem at all.

Increasing the block size is not trivial and there are many considerations in doing that, particularly the fact that it WILL be a hard fork. That in itself is contentious because HARD FORKS CAN BE BAD.

There are no other currencies which have the same transaction volume as Bitcoin, so they aren't even comparable. If you want to compare two things, you need to eliminate all of the other variables which can affect the outcome. The must be compared ceteris paribus, all else equal.

Take your off topic ranting elsewhere, we don't need it in tech support threads. And maybe learn some stuff about what you are talking about

/Off Topic

OP, about your question, since you were unable to set the fee, there are only a few options available to you. You could attempt a Child-Pays-For-Parent transaction in which you create a transaction that spends an output from this transaction but you pay a fee that is enough to cover both transactions. Or you can wait and hope that it confirms. Or you can wait for it to eventually (few days usually) be dropped by the network, making that transaction as if it had never happened. If that happens, then contact whoever sent you the transaction and ask them to resend it with a higher fee so that it gets confirmed.

The transaction fee is less than recomended
your fee only 0.0000113 BTC, i think the normal fee is 10.000 satoshi

In my opinion if you do not want to pay the fee of the transaction should use coinbase know xapo
where they do not charge in each transaction

Thanks.

I was transacting from marketplace to exchange. I think a Child-Pays-For-Parent transaction is a little too complicated for my little brain so I'd sooner wait and see what happens. As long as the bitcoins aren't forever lost then it's no biggie.

I think your transaction will eventually confirm very soon by Now !

I can See your transaction is now already included in a BLOCK !

Lock Time
Block: 387937


Anyways Its taking long because u included a very low fees..
And there might be a Long queue with high fees waiting for their confirmation..
So u have a low priority because of your low fees !!
If u want it to confirm faster next time include a fees higher than 0.0009 Btc..

AFAIK the LOCK TIME is when the inputs can be spend and use in the network again but it doesnt mean the transaction is already included in a block/confirmed.


If u want it to confirm faster next time include a fees higher than 0.0009 Btc..

90k satoshi is too much IMO, the basic 10k satoshi per 1KB of transaction size is enough in the current load of the network

The latest buzz is "segregated witness"

Does not require hard fork, and by separating sigs from main chain could decrease block size by 40%..
these are numbers from memory but

You should use an minimum Transactions few of 1000satoshi /kb

<Anyways you might shut turn off your wallet for an Minimum of 12 hours. After this restart the wallet and let it going.
The Transactions i think will get deleted and confirmed after your next Wallet action.

Hope i could help

Maybe you should use another Wallet ;)

Thats no longer true. If I ask bitcoin core for an approximation for the fee per kilobyte I get:

Code:
block 	| fee
--------------------------
1 | 0.00038887
2 | 0.00022495
3-4 | 0.00020074
5 | 0.00018738
6 | 0.00016535
7-13 | 0.00015087
14 | 0.00013729
15-25 | 0.00012499
... | ...
??? | 0.00001000 (you are here, still waiting for a confirmation)

Yeah buddy i think the transaction fee is to low,  what wallet are you using sometimes they are set to send a lower than required transaction fee, just watch out for that the next time you send.   ;)
